So the only surviving video of the infamous LeBron-gets-dunked-on incident survived the Nike abortion and found life on the internet. TMZ and ebaumnation.com made headway with the much sought after tape.
To quickly fill you in, Lebron James was hosting a basketball camp in Ohio, inviting two dozen college players. Lebron decided to take part in a pickup game and, during that game, a 20-year-old Xavier University sophomore named Jordan Crawford took the rock to the hole and dunked over Lebron.
In a snap moment of embarrassment, Nike, Lebron James' shoe sponsor, quickly snatched any video tape that captured the moment out of fear of a poor rep.
So here we are now with the tape which basically is underwhelming and not really lives up to the hype and bickering of it all in the previous weeks. But dammit, if this doesn't cause things this season. If I were Jordan Crawford, I would hide. Lebron has money. Nike is a big corporation. And if any single entity were to take Lebron, who, along with Kobe Bryant, is Nike's money men, down a peg, then we could see Crawford's life and rep take a turn for the worse. It's funny too. I could see "Nike henchman" turn Crawford's life into crap. Oh well, at least his name is out there...for the obituaries to know who he is.
